Line 1343, you mean?  Here's that assert, below.  I'd turn off extra
checks to get it working, and maybe print out the names to clarify what's
happening.  

--jkl

TDSICONVINFO *
tds_iconv_from_lcid(TDSSOCKET * tds, int lcid)
{
        const char *charset = lcid2charset(lcid);

#if ENABLE_EXTRA_CHECKS
        assert(strcmp(tds_canonical_charset_name(charset), charset) == 0);
#endif

        /* same as client (usually this is true, so this improve performance) ?
*/
        if (strcmp(tds->iconv_info[client2server_chardata]->server_charset.name,
charset) == 0)
                return tds->iconv_info[client2server_chardata];

        return tds_iconv_get_info(tds, charset);
}
